TaleOfTwoSmittys - TOTS the Bus
This week we meet up with skoolie friends in Las Vegas for the Rock 'n' Roll Half Marathon and 5k. The skoolie community has given us so much, in this case it's pressure to run a 5k 😆 ! Seriously though, we love our skoolie friends, and we were thrilled to hang out with them in a cool city! We'll see you in the comments!
----------
We're Cody, Laura, & Raleigh. In 2019, we began our skoolie bus conversion, turning a school bus into a tiny home on wheels. We spent most of 2020 with our skoolie build and all of 2021 living bus life. If you'd like to check out our skoolie life travels and see what we are up to, please consider subscribing and come along for the ride as we travel the country in TOTS the Bus. We are back to uploading a new video every Sunday! 2022 is the year of bus life!
TOTS the Bus is a 2009 BlueBird Vision with a Cummins 6.7L engine and an Allison transmission.

    @cycleoflife7331 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I highly recommend using an infrared thermometer to check your system while charging under shore power and/or solar then again while powering and charging. Then every six months after you retorque all your connections as screws and bolts will loosen as it cycles from cold to hot especially your MPPT

    Do you regret not insulting your bus now. Time to head south in winter

  • @cycleoflife7331
    @cycleoflife7331 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

    You need to add side support to keep the tank from bulging outwards especially when full. Those sides will bulge outlike an accordion. the pressure from the water sloshing around will cause a crack or catastrophic failure.

      Yes, our plan was to put in an all-in-one unit. The space under the front counter is exactly for that. In the end, we decided to use that space for shoe and coat storage or our dog's bed, depending on the time of year.

    Does this have space for knockouts on the sides for all wires? I'm looking to install one of these but in a very tight area - I wouldn't have access to the back, only the sides.

    • @TaleOfTwoSmittys
      @TaleOfTwoSmittys 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      There are numerous knockouts and a lot of space. Whether or not you’ll fit everything through the sides alone will depend on what all you’re installing and in which directions, but I wouldn’t expect a major space problem.

  • @cycleoflife7331
    @cycleoflife7331 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I was hoping to learn how to wire your breaker box. Why did you go with solid romex wire. A bus vibrates like a boat you cant have any floating free wire more then a foot or less or it will fail to cracking but will cause a fire before total failure. Price isnt that much more. Stopped watch halfway through. Not a very informative video

    • @Drizimar1
      @Drizimar1 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      That was my 1st though, solid core wire in a rolling earthquake, I can't imagine that wire will hold up long term. The wire really needs to be stranded and Ferruled where possible.

    • @sonofthedesert3132
      @sonofthedesert3132 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I am actually wondering why you both missed the actual wiring of the receptacles and didn't respond to that, since pretty much most skoolie owners will do spray foam insulation, which will prevent wires from floating free or rubbing against something and we all can see that he did secure the wires to the wood members before, after and in between outlet boxes. My concern would be that the push in connections will vibrate out and cause problems
